I shall not be posting as much in the next two days.
But, I have a few comments on the upcoming release of Noah, which I hope to see and critique on this blog.
First of all, folks, it is a Hollywood production, not a Catholic documentary.
Second of all, Evangelicals, Noah did get drunk-it is in the Scriptures.
Third, the text is written by two Jewish men-this should prove to be interesting, as I for one, want to know how modern day Jews interpret the Biblical Story, which is a true story.
Fourth, I am sure the text is corrupted by modernist ideals. Again, this is Hollywood, not the Vatican making the movie. Look for what is good and be smart enough to see what is not good. I expect to find some good news and some modernist heresies, as well as modern propaganda.
Fifth, Noah was not a superpower hero. He was a man of God. We do not see miracles in the Bible made by him, but the Ark and his listening to God are the miracles, as Noah was obedient in a horrible age of disobedience and evil
"For people who are very literal-minded, it would be great to communicate that the themes of the film are very much in line with the themes of the Bible -- ideas about hope, second chances and family," he says. "If they allow that, they're going to have an incredible experience with the movie. If they don't allow it, it's theirs to lose." Aronofsky
I would not take children under teen age. And, unless you, parents, have taught them the Catholic truth about Noah, I would not take them at all, even as teens, so as not to confuse them. Simple. Just use your discernment, but it is not for under 13, imho.
